I can't believe I was considering leaving before Black Cobra's set. I decided to stay and it was the best decision I've made in quite some time. Matt Pike would be proud: Black Cobra sounded just as heavy and had as many riffs as High On Fire, but they only had a guitarist and a drummer. Couldn't believe how loud two guys could get. They were heavy when the tempo's slowed and made everyone's neck sore when they decided to get fast. This fantastic two-piece didn't let up one bit and it was really one of the better performances of the year so far. After their set, I shook their guitarist's, Jason's, hand and said, "Calling you the heaviest band in the world would be an understatement." And what an understatement it is.

They sound like a full band - I shit you not. I have no idea how they do it - especially in a live setting. Whatever they do, it works for me. All I can tell you is that if these guys are on a bill you're thinking about seeing in the future, go.

I'd hope one of those ?s was Beer, Bitches and Bullet Belts, that'd be really sad if they dropped it
I'd venture a guess they did Cruel, The Stench and Ailing Addiction too.

I'll never see Phobia again unless they're part of a show I want to see. Maybe its cause I've seen them too many times. They seem to play every few months out here in LA. I've grown tired of them and Shane seems to not be able to grind like he used to. Thats just my opinion. Good to hear you had an awesome time. I wonder why the bassist wasn't there?
